Carteira de trabalho translation to English

What a carteira de trabalho is, for a US reader

The carteira de trabalho, formally the Carteira de Trabalho e Previdência Social or CTPS, is the government-issued employment record book every formal Brazilian worker carries. Hire dates, employers, roles, salary changes, and terminations are entered and stamped inside it, which makes it work like a career-long employment verification letter issued by the state. That is why US offices ask for it in English.

Where the little blue book earns its keep

US immigration filings use it as employment-history evidence, credential evaluators use it to verify professional experience, and back-pay and benefits matters lean on the contract pages. It is often the only signed, dated record of a whole career. In a packet it sits beside other records, and the rest of a Brazilian document translation order meets the same standard.

Translate the pages that matter

Nobody needs 40 blank pages billed. Send the identification page and the pages that carry entries: contracts, salary alterations, annotations. Blank runs are noted as blank, the way the completeness rule expects, without padding your page count.

Digital CTPS counts too

The Carteira de Trabalho Digital exports a PDF of your contracts from the app. We translate that export the same way, and it is usually cleaner to read than a scanned booklet.

Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, translates and signs every order herself, and each one ships with the Certificate of Accuracy that 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires.
